Lucid’s most recent games, Switchblade and Destruction AllStars - the latter came to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Plus in February - are all about vehicular combat, making the studio a natural fit for Twisted Metal. Lucid Games was founded in 2011 by former employees of Bizarre Creations, the former Activision-owned studio known for the Project Gotham Racing games, The Club, and Blur. VGC’s report indicates a free-to-play model for the new Twisted Metal, which has not been officially announced by Sony Interactive Entertainment, but was previously rumored to be in the works. It would be the first new Twisted Metal game in a decade - an attempt to reboot the series, under the name Twisted Metal, was released in 2012 on PlayStation 3.

Read more on that through here.Īwkwardly, it’s since been suggested to me that this is real.A new Twisted Metal game is in early development at Destruction AllStars developer Lucid Games, according to a report from VGC. A recent leak also claimed that a new WipEout game is in the works for PS5 and PSVR 2. Meanwhile, Twisted Metal might not be the only dormant Sony franchise gearing up for a comeback. That said, Andy Robinson of VGC recently also took to Twitter to state that he’s been told that a new Twisted Metal game is indeed in the works. Of course, in spite of Henderson’s solid track record with leaks, there’s no guarantees that this is accurate. A Twisted Metal TV series is also in development, so maybe this could tie in with that. Henderson’s tweet is a brief one, so there’s plenty of questions surrounding the game right now- whether this will be a remake, a reboot, or something else entirely remains to be seen. That, however, might change soon.Īccording to well-known leaker Tom Henderson, a new Twisted Metal game is currently in the works and is, for now, planning a 2023 launch.

One such franchise is the vehicular combat series Twisted Metal, which hasn’t seen a new game release since the 2012 PS3 title. Sony’s got a large number of beloved first party franchises under its belt that have been dormant for way too long, and there’s a legion of fans who keep hoping for their revivals.
